D is for “Dare”, D is for “Drum”, D is for “Dot”, D is for “Duh”, D is for…

Took this one upon myself as you will understand from the rules. I have been assigned the letter…..

Dby  (well as an indicator to the image I chose to display the letter ;) …here is to you…  :) ) the BeadDen here.

Here are the rules:

You leave a comment on this post, and I’ll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on.

You can leave a comment and not be assigned a letter if you want.  Just let me know if you want a letter to keep this going.

I find this interesting. The letter assigned is kind of something that keeps popping into my mind in the words that I think of. Do I love them? Not really! :) My last post also is a word that begins with “D” ….

Just listen to the “Piece Audio” for the letter D and how most words associated are well…not really good ones :) So, here I list those words that come to my mind…not necessarily those I love. Sorry for deviating from the rules :( I will try listing only positive ones…

Date : Something I have not been on for a long time now. :) Don’t intend to either ;) but doesn’t every one think about the word “date” every day?

Divorce: For obvious reasons, this D word pops into my mind ever so often! apart from the word that is the title of my last post which I don’t intend to list here :)

Deuterium: This word does not come to my mind as often (please…don’t think I am that much of a nerd! ) but it did come when I was trying to think of words to list here. After all chemistry was the subject I majored in. Confession : there were many other geeky/nerdy words that did pop in my brain (absolutely not intentional I am sure! :) )

Dream: Everybody does have a dream, isn’t it? I am yet to figure out mine; I suppose it is pretty positive a word to think of when dealing with “D” :)

Dinosaur: My son A came and asked me what I was doing. Told him I was thinking of words starting with “D”. He asked me to add this one :) So, dinosaur is my fifth word!

Five down…five to go!!!

Daughter: Talking about A, I must say that I always wanted a daughter. I so wished A was a girl when I was pregnant!! *sigh*…. Well, am lucky I have A in my life :)

Development : Another positive word that came up was “development”. I suppose it is positive, at least I think so. Don’t quite know what is there to be developed in my life now…but  hope there is something and it is positive ;)

Dimension: I like fractals at least looking at those images ;) Hence this term did come up when I thought of “D” words… I am definitely figuring out the dimensions of the problems I am facing in life now :)

Desolate/Depression : I know! I said I will try!! These words haunt me all the time; so could not let these pass when listing words that begin with D!

December : We are in the month that begins with the letter “D” helping me complete this meme :) Tis the holiday season for most people. Wishing everyone “Happy holidays”. Hope the next year brings all joy and cheer to each & everyone’s life :D

Thanks to Google image search for all the images. Copyrights would be as per what the original images hold!

Thank you BeadDen for giving me this letter. I really liked doing this one. If the readers think of more cheerful words to replace the depressing ones above, please do let me know. I am sure there will be many :) though the above are those that came to my mind. I am a  Dingbat, Ding-a-ling – could not help that one either ;) My Dosts (hindi for friend – pluralised using the “s” by me :D ) would certainly vouch for those attributes of mine ;)

    I like that you have a picture for each one, they’re great! I love fractals, too, hooray for dimension! Dream, Development, and Dinosaur! Thank you to A for helping mama.
    I can think of some “D” words for you: Delightful, Dear, Daring. :)


    I think BD also did the same…pics for each word..didn’t she? I like the way you give the etymology of each word :) Yeah…those are a nice list of “D” words there. :)

    Great Tag! Neatly done… Some ‘D’ letter words that came to my mind while reading this post, ‘Damn’,'Destiny’,'Darling’,'Donut’ :) … You can assign me my letter… I know I have only 26 options but am still excited ;)


    Hey! I like “donut”…and yeah I did think of the other words after posting! ;) Weird how I kept thinking of “D” words all through the day and after posting too!!! Actually you have only 25 since I already assigned 1 to Laksh :) So, hmmm…which letter do I give you? Ok..I assign V to you :)

    Thank you so much for playing. I like that you used pictures too!
    Your ‘D’ picks were insightful. Nice list. You really ‘delved’ into into it. ;)

    Thank you BeadDen :) I liked doing this one :) The pictures do seem to give the post a nice look, better than my usual drab theme ;)
